Are you going to use them strictly for HT or for music as well?

I've actually auditioned them when I was in the process of buying satellite speakers approx 1.5ys ago. I pitted the nano sats vs Def tech pro cinema 1000. Whatever I say here on should not affect your decision if ever you're set butying them already, ok?
In my audtioning process I found that the Nanosats sounded a little thin, too "crisp"-meaning the highs were rolled off, and bright. It lacked midrange and with the omnipolar technology that disperses sound via reflection, I found that imaging was incoherent. BUTTTT!!! It was great for HT. The Nanosats actually a better soundfield in terms of surround vs the Def Techs. Over all, I felt that the nanosats were not seamless and did not output a solid wall of sound-after all they are considered satelite speakers.

I think they will be fine for movies but you will need a sub. Mirage make quality speakers for $250 i think it's a pretty good deal. If your willing to spend a bit more i would consider the onkyo systems and they come with a sub and the receiver, or if you have a sub and receiver i would look at getting 5 paradigm atom monitors they sell for $250 a pair and will blow the mirage away.

I already have monitor 50s,cs10,and 4 monitor 30s for surround and 2 subs. I have another room that when I close the door it becomes a perfect square with no openings. Thats why I wanted to take these speakers, because I think the sound will bounce off the walls and ceiling real good.

With all due respect, this is exactly what you DON'T want!

To be honest I want a more spacious sound is what I shouldve said. But my main question what to ask, how are the Nanosat speakers from people who experienced them?

Cubic and square rooms are the worst type of room as far as subwoofers are concerned.

The long wavelengths of the low frequency sound waves bounce around the room and create standing waves. These are called room modes. As a results, you will have locations in the room with high bass sound and locations with no bass sound. Therefore, placement of a subwoofer in a small room becomes the most important determining factor in its perfromance.

When the dimensions of the room are excatly the same, the peaks and valleys of these vertical, horiznotal, tangential, and oblique modes will coincide and create a big headache for you.

I thought you said "mosin nagant".

Nevermind.

It doesn't look like your room is a square. With two subs, you should be able to get good and even bass across the room for most listening positions.
